Hello,
Last Tuesday I had the pleasure to visit the Highlandtown Elementary School of Baltimore.
Orchkids (an outreach project by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra) is leading a very intense and valuable music program at Highlandtown and I was invited to perform and talk about the trumpet. The two groups of kids that I work that afternoon are just getting started about how to play the trumpet. I brought not only my Bb trumpet but also my flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet and performed for them. I played some expected previously selected but they also participated actively requesting famous movie and traditional melodies. It was a lot of fun!
Thank you very much to the Orchkids program for inviting me. Special thanks to Dan Trahey (Artistic Director) and Kassie Lord (Orchkids Site Coordinator at Highlandtown School)
Best,
Carlos
